Topic: Windows 7, weird picture (Read 2123 times)

I've got 64bit Windows 7.Now, I go this picture and a part of it is edited.

The problem is, that you have those preview-icons for your pictures and this certain edited picture shows how it was originally, but when I open the picture, it shows the edited version.How can this be possible?

Also, since I've got this problem, is it possible to get that preview-picture as big as the edited one?

I have no idea if this is part of your problem, but some graphics formats have the ability to save a thumbnail graphic into the file itself. However, not all graphics editing programs have the ability to save/edit this thumbnail.

If your picture was created with a graphics program that saved the thumbnail into the file, but the program used to edit the picture did not update/change this thumbnail then that may explain what you are experiencing.

It's also possible that the image editor being used does not actually save the changes "destructively" to the file, but rather stores them in a separate file and reapplies them dynamically. Picasa for example works this way.
